Speed is distance traveled per block of time. As an equation, this is
Speed = distance/time

In your problem, the given distance is 300km, and the time is 2.5 hours.
Plugging into the equation,
Speed = 300km / 2.5 h
Speed = 120 km/h

Velocity is speed and direction.
The velocity would be 120 km/h north.
